Hi, buy, bye
Collectibles and the currency are really what keeps me on the site. If it weren't for that, I'd just talk to my friends and not be super active on tbt. Even once a month could be too much. It's something that'd have to have a lot of planning put into it. There are right ways and wrong ways to do it. You can't please anyone, so you generally want to please the majority of your userbase. Of course, the majority could be the minority in terms of percentages of players. For example, Riot (League of Legends) uses its most active members who play regularly, and take part in reddit discussions as their majority. However, this only takes up 5%-10% of their playerbase. This 5%-10% is making them the most money, though, so they are going to focus on that group for certain/specific changes.
I wish I could find the post on reddit that detailed this better than I have OTL

Nah, be broke with me
nah fam.
Also a lot of the older collectibles are like rare artifacts...
If they were restocked in a small amount, like the rare event ones, a lot of people who have these and feel lucky and special to have them will be devastated because a ton of random people on here will have them too and it'll just be another pixel shoved in their hidden inventory to rarely bring out into the light of day. Like take the yellow and red candies. Last year, before they were restocked, they were inflating quite a bit and a lot of people, even the rich, had a candy displayed. Since a ton were stocked and released, and there's now so many floating around, people don't buy them anymore. I spent like... over a hundred tbt for a red candy when I first joined, and now? They're almost worthless.
It's a silly example, but even if the uncommon/common items were restocked with more and not so limited, everyone would sorta lose interest. Just like how a lot of people have with oranges, pears, birthstones, etc.

Yah, that's another good point. Demand will decrease like crazy as well. Thanks for adding that on.

I honestly believe that there should be sooo many more types of collectibles than there are now. Like seriously, right now lineups are pretty limited 'cause there's what, 40 collectibles that still exist and are in circulation? that's madness. I know we're getting all those flowers and stuff now but still

It's because there isn't a huge art team, so there's only so much they can do.

which is why I really hope my project staff application goes through.

you can do anything
Lmao, who's going to be "devastated" by small amounts of restocks, that doesn't even make sense. Not sure what red candy has to do with any older or rare collectibles either. I too "lost bells" on the reds and yellows last Halloween because i thought stock would be more limited, but you know what-- that turned out to be part of a totally equitable and thoughtful plan by the admins. Are reds/yellows worth less than in the past? maybe so. But I see tons of new users buying in the market these days. and I have a feeling their value will spike a bit ahead of the Halloween event, just as Easter collectibles spiked this March. But aside from that, the balance, for the interest of "collectors," is that the blue and green candies are no longer purchasable in the shop. Go back a few years, people were snagging multiple blues and greens in the shop. now they're pretty rare, and a bit expensive. Balance. Plentiful reds/yellows so people can feel like they're participating; rare and more rare greens and blues. I've never heard anyone say they lost interest in this site over the value/rarity of the collectible display items. And the fact that new limited edition eggs, new limited edition flowers, new limited edition spellectibles, and so forth have been coming out, further stimulates the interest and market. No significant amount of that interest would be blunted in the least by "small restocks" of older collectibles. In fact, quite the opposite, it would inject even more enthusiasm into the market, and, more importantly, create more of a bond with the history of the forum, history that is otherwise pretty much unknown or forgotten by the active membership.
Love this idea! Buy I think 10 might be too high. Maybe 2?

It's automatic even if you're always logged in. It doesn't trigger by specifically "logging in".

I never received any seashells since I joined a few days ago which is close to this change and I doubt I'll get any so I'll have to wait a few days for them still though.
The new flowers sound cool too.
The new flowers sound cool too.
They have not released it yet. Nobody have received the seashells I think.

They may be doing a slow testing, I would just give it a little more time

Oh no I am aware of that.
I just hate waiting sometimes.
I want to get things ya know?
I'm not that worried about it right now.
They said it may take a few days and if they don't show up to contact them.
